BURBANK, Calif. -

A Burbank mother and father were arrested after hospital workers treating their 5-week-old daughter for broken bones called police.

The Los Angeles Times reports 21-year-old Elizabeth Carter was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of child abuse. The father, 19-year-old Matthew Wojcik has been in custody for several weeks and is charged with murder and felony child abuse causing death. He has pleaded not guilty.

In October, Wojcik brought his daughter to Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where she was treated for multiple broken bones and brain swelling. Caregivers called police to report possible child abuse.

The infant succumbed to her injuries after being taken off life support.
